Tsunami Harley Davidson

The motorcycle belongs to 29 year old man Ikuo Yokoyama who is still living in a temporary house after he lost his home and three of his family members in the tsunami catastrophe.

Harley Davidson offered Yokoyama his bike with full restoration but he respectfully declined the offer as he wanted the bike to be preserved as a memorial to the tragedy and 16000 people who lost their lives in the devastating tsunami. The motorcycle is raising funds for the tsunami victims in Vancouver currently before it makes its final journey to Wisconsin where the bike will be kept on display at the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.
